Where the Money Comes From (Athletics Revenue)Choose athletics revenue total only or revenue categoriesas a portion of athletics revenue totals.

Select institutions for comparison through the search feature, or by NCAA subdivision, athletic conference, region or state, or Carnegie classification.

Select Institutions

Compare data with other Division I public institutions. In the next step, compare to other pre-defined groups, such as athletic conferences, NCAA subdivisions, or institutions grouped by spending levels.

Create your own Comparison Groups

Create your own custom comparison group by selecting individual institutions and/or add them to other pre-defined historical comparison groups, such as athletic conferences. For example, analyze the Big Ten Conference by adding members Rutgers and Maryland as if they were conference members for the years prior to their Big Ten membership. Such an adjustment might impact the median for the Big Ten with the new schools added. Another example is to produce spending from a new custom comparison group of all the Division I public universities within the state of North Carolina.
